Why PPG MoonWalk® is the Industry’s Favorite Mixing Solution

August, 20th 2025

At ColorVision, we believe innovation is only as valuable as the results it delivers. And there’s no better example of that than the PPG MoonWalk® automated mixing system, which recently surpassed a major milestone: over 3,000 units installed worldwide.

Let’s break down what sets MoonWalk apart and why collision centers worldwide have put this technology to work.

PPG recently celebrated their 3,000th install of the MoonWalk® Automated Mixing System!

Smaller Footprint, Bigger Impact

Space is a premium in most shops. Whether you're running a high-volume collision center or a growing body shop, floor space often dictates workflow. That’s where MoonWalk shines. With the smallest physical footprint of any automated mixing system, it delivers big technology without demanding big space.

This compact design frees up valuable room for technicians and equipment while centralizing your mixing operations into one clean, organized hub. It’s the kind of lean thinking that supports modern shop layouts and optimized performance.

Unmatched Accuracy

While many machines rely on bulk "dosing," MoonWalk operates with laboratory-grade precision—measuring every component down to 0.01 grams. Why does that matter? Because consistency is king. Whether it's matching complex colors or replicating jobs over time, precision mixing ensures less waste, fewer reworks, and happier customers. Every drop counts and with MoonWalk, every drop is accounted for.

This level of accuracy is a massive leap forward for shops that want to reduce costly material errors and guarantee repeatable results.

Material Savings That Speak For Themselves

Material costs are a constant source of stress in the collision world. But MoonWalk® turns that challenge into an opportunity. Thanks to its inverted toner design, MoonWalk ensures less than 1% of product is left in a bottle when it’s ready for replacement. That simple design innovation can lead to up to 9% in material savings over time.

Think about that: nearly a tenth of your paint inventory preserved through smarter dispensing. When you’re managing multiple repairs a day, those savings multiply fast and contribute directly to your bottom line.

Time is Money

Manual mixing is time-consuming. MoonWalk automates that entire process, giving your technicians back 15–20% of their time to focus on what they do best: turning out quality repairs, faster. That labor savings doesn’t just mean more jobs per day- it also means less human error, a more consistent workflow, and the ability to scale operations without increasing overhead.

Emergency Dispense Ready

MoonWalk is the only system on the market with an emergency dispense option. This feature is designed for the real-world challenges of a collision center. If there’s ever a system interruption, you don’t need a backup set of toners. You don’t even need to hit pause. With the emergency dispense mode, your shop keeps moving without missing a beat.

This is built-in business continuity and it’s one of the many ways MoonWalk proves it’s engineered with technician’s in mind.

The Global Standard in Local Support

With more than 3,000 machines installed and counting, MoonWalk has established itself as the global leader in automated mixing. But the real advantage? You’re never on your own.
